[0054] Secondly, embodiments of the present invention provide an e-commerce business management method, including using any of the above-mentioned e-commerce business management systems to perform e-commerce business management.
[0055] The beneficial effects of the above-described technical solutions provided in the embodiments of the present invention include at least the following:
[0056] (1) The e-commerce business management system provided in this embodiment of the invention includes a management platform and a transaction platform; the management platform is equipped with a procurement unit, an operation unit, an engineering and equipment unit, a control unit, and a public disclosure unit. The procurement unit is used to generate product requests based on the obtained product links; then, the operation unit and the engineering and equipment unit sequentially complete the review of the product requests, and the public disclosure unit publishes the product information corresponding to the finally approved product requests. Among them, the operation unit is also used to generate a product benchmark price based on the reference prices of multiple reference links set by the operator during the review process, and the transaction platform is used to send bidding notifications to each e-commerce platform, obtain the product links and original bids fed back by the e-commerce platforms based on the product benchmark price for the transaction administrator to select, and generate the final purchase link and put it on the shelves based on the selection result. This system enables large enterprises with multiple levels of subsidiaries to manage their e-commerce operations, from reporting procurement needs to multi-level review and finally listing the products on the platform. By generating a benchmark price, it guides e-commerce pricing and effectively controls the cost of purchasing goods. Based on the product links and original bids provided by the e-commerce platform selected by the transaction administrator, the system generates and lists the final purchase links, avoiding the problem of buyers spending a lot of time and effort choosing from a large number of purchase links for the same or similar products.
[0057] (2) In the e-commerce business management system provided in this embodiment of the invention, the operating unit determines the weighted sum of reference prices and the weighted sum of the e-commerce platforms corresponding to each reference link based on the reference prices of multiple reference links set by the operators, combined with the weights of the e-commerce platforms corresponding to each reference link. The ratio of the weighted sum to the weighted sum is determined as the initial benchmark price, and the product benchmark price is obtained by rounding. The determination of a reasonable benchmark price provides a data foundation for obtaining reasonable bidding product links from e-commerce platforms, making the final listed purchase link price more reasonable, saving purchase costs and avoiding the problem of not being able to buy high-performance products due to excessively low pricing.
[0058] (3) The e-commerce business management system provided in this embodiment of the invention also includes a standard product library; the control unit adds the product information that has ended the publicity to the standard product library; the control unit is also used to monitor when the products (i.e. the products on sale) in the standard product library meet the benchmark price update conditions, based on the reference prices of multiple reference links received from the operation unit, combined with the original bidding price of the e-commerce corresponding to each purchase link of the product and the weight of the corresponding e-commerce, update the benchmark price, and send it to the transaction platform to update the purchase link of the product.
[0059] (4) The e-commerce business management system provided in this embodiment of the invention controls the average price of corresponding products in the third-party product pool for each product category in the standard product library over time. If the average price decreases by a set amount and the duration reaches a set time, it determines that the product category meets the benchmark price update conditions. By monitoring the category prices of third-party products, the timing for adjusting the purchase links of products on sale can be well grasped, avoiding the problem that frequent adjustments increase system management costs, and that delayed adjustments can easily lead to the inability to update purchase links with higher cost performance in a timely manner, resulting in economic losses.
[0060] (5) The e-commerce business management system provided in this embodiment of the invention also includes a rejected product database, an operation unit, and an engineering equipment unit. In response to a user's rejected product request, the system adds the corresponding product information to the rejected product database and notifies the control unit to withdraw the currently pending product request. The rejected product database enables the management of purchase requests for currently rejected products, avoiding unnecessary product request approvals and management for rejected products.
[0061] (6) The e-commerce business management system provided in this embodiment of the invention includes multiple procurement units, and each procurement unit includes multiple procurement modules and one procurement management module. The procurement modules and the procurement management module are set up in a many-to-one manner, and the procurement management module and the operation unit are set up in a many-to-one manner, which effectively solves the management of large enterprises with multiple levels of subsidiaries, from the reporting of procurement needs to the multi-level review.
[0062] (7) In the e-commerce business management system provided in this embodiment of the invention, the product code is generated based on the MDG category code (the category code managed by the system itself), and the MDG category code is obtained based on the mapping relationship between the MDG category code and the e-commerce product category code stored in the category mapping management unit. Since the e-commerce product category code can be directly obtained from its purchase link, the mapping relationship between the MDG category code and each e-commerce product category code is stored in advance, so that the MDG category code can be quickly determined from the e-commerce product category code based on the mapping relationship. In addition, the product code is generated based on the MDG category code, which facilitates the management of products according to category.
[0063] (8) The e-commerce business management system provided in this embodiment of the invention includes an operation unit comprising an operation management module, multiple operation review modules, and an operation re-review module. The operation management module assigns reviewers to MDG categories, enabling the operation review module to display product requests for the corresponding MDG category to logged-in reviewers. After the reviewers approve the assigned product requests, the operation review module sends them to the operation re-review module, allowing the re-reviewers to further review the product requests through the operation re-review module. This achieves the process management requirements of division of labor review and centralized re-review in operation review.

[0073] Definitions:
[0074] MDG Category Code: MDG stands for Master Data Governance. Specifically, in this application's embodiment, the MDG category code is a code generated according to defined coding rules for the final category of a product classification based on specific business management needs. In other words, the MDG category code is the code for product categories managed by the procurement management platform, distinct from the category codes used by various e-commerce platforms.
[0075] Example 1
[0076] Embodiment 1 of the present invention provides an e-commerce business management system, the structure of which is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, it includes a management platform and a trading platform.
[0077] The management platform includes procurement, operations, engineering and equipment, control, and public disclosure units. These will be described in detail below.
[0078] 1.1 Procurement Unit
[0079] Used to generate product requests based on the obtained product links, and send the obtained edited product requests to the operations unit.
[0080] In some embodiments, the management platform may have multiple procurement units, each of which includes multiple procurement modules and a procurement management module. That is, the procurement management module interfaces with many procurement modules in a one-to-many manner, and the operations unit interfaces with many procurement management modules in a one-to-many manner. This further addresses the management of procurement needs from reporting to multi-level approval in large enterprises with multiple levels of subsidiaries.
[0081] The procurement module is used to search for and display matching product links from a third-party product pool based on the search information entered by the procurement staff, generate product requests based on the product links selected by the procurement staff, and send the product requests edited and submitted by the procurement staff to the corresponding procurement management module. The procurement management module is used to send product requests edited and approved by the procurement administrator to the operations unit.
[0082] Specifically, the procurement module obtains the corresponding e-commerce category code, selling price, and product attributes based on the product link selected by the procurement officer. According to the mapping relationship between the corresponding e-commerce category code and the MDG category code, it determines the MDG category code and generates a product request. The generated product request includes a reference link (the product link selected by the procurement officer), a reference price (the selling price obtained based on the product link selected by the procurement officer), the MDG category code, and product attribute information. Before confirming and submitting the product request, the procurement officer can also edit and modify the information in the product request generated by the procurement module.
[0083] In some embodiments, the management platform also includes a category mapping management unit for storing and managing the mapping relationship between MDG category codes and e-commerce category codes. Furthermore, it is also used to manage product MDG classification information and product classification information of each e-commerce platform. The category levels in both the platform's product classification information and each e-commerce platform's product classification information end with "category".
[0084] The category mapping management unit is also used to update the corresponding mapping relationship in real time based on changes in MDG category codes or any e-commerce category codes. For example, when an MDG category code changes, the mapping relationship between the MDG category code and the e-commerce category code is updated for each e-commerce platform; when the category code of an e-commerce platform changes, the mapping relationship between the MDG category code and the e-commerce category code is updated.
[0085] The procurement management module receives a review result from the procurement administrator regarding a product request, which may be either approved or rejected. If the received review result is approved, the product request is sent to the operations unit for further review; if the received review result is rejected, the product request is returned to the procurement module. The procurement officer can edit and modify the request and resubmit it, or resubmit it directly to the procurement management module without modification, or withdraw the rejected product request.
[0086] During the above process, the procurement administrator can edit the product requests that are under review.
[0087] 1.2 Operating Unit
[0088] Used to generate a benchmark price for goods based on the reference prices of multiple reference links set by the operator, and to send the goods requests approved by the operator to the engineering equipment unit.
[0089] Specifically, the benchmark price of a commodity can be determined through the following steps:
[0090] Based on the reference prices of multiple reference links set by the operator, and combined with the weight of the e-commerce platform corresponding to each reference link, the weighted sum of the reference prices and the weighted sum of the e-commerce platforms corresponding to each reference link are determined. The ratio of this weighted sum to the weighted sum is used as the initial benchmark price, which is then rounded to obtain the product benchmark price.
[0091] For the reference price in the reference link, i.e. the price of mainstream e-commerce platforms, there are n reference prices from mainstream e-commerce platforms, denoted as P. e1 P e2 ... P en At the same time, it has the corresponding e-commerce weight. e1 w e2 ... w en It's important to note that this corresponds to the e-commerce weight w. e1 w e2... w en The sum is not equal to 1 because the mainstream e-commerce platforms for a single product, i.e., the e-commerce platforms mentioned in the reference links, are only a portion of the e-commerce platforms connected to the system.
[0092] Calculate the weighted sum of reference prices from major e-commerce platforms. and the total weight of mainstream e-commerce platforms Finally, the reference prices are weighted averaged. , as the initial benchmark price.
[0093] The initial benchmark price can be rounded up by determining the number of digits to round based on the order of magnitude of the initial benchmark price, and then rounding the initial benchmark price up according to the determined number of digits.
[0094]
[0095] in, The initial benchmark price, The base price is the rounded price, and [﹒ ] indicates rounding up.
[0096] The above describes the process of determining the benchmark price of goods for the operating unit. Furthermore, the structure of the operating unit can include an operating management module, multiple operating audit modules, and an operating review module.
[0097] The operations management module is used to assign auditors to MDG categories, enabling the operations audit module to display the corresponding MDG category product requests to logged-in auditors for auditing.
[0098] The operations management module is used for managing MDG categories and auditor information. It assigns specialized auditors to MDG categories. One auditor can be assigned to multiple MDG categories, or multiple auditors can be assigned to one MDG category.
[0099] The operations review module is used to generate a benchmark price for goods based on the reference prices of multiple reference links set by the reviewer, and to send the goods requests approved by the reviewer to the operations review module; the operations review module is used to send the goods requests approved by the reviewer to the engineering equipment unit for review.
[0100] 1.3 Engineering Equipment Units
[0101] This is used to send the product information corresponding to the product request approved by the engineering material handler to the control unit.
[0102] 1.4 Control Unit
[0103] Used to send approved product requests from the engineering equipment unit to the publicity unit for public display; and to send product information from the publicity unit after the publicity period ends to the trading platform.
[0104] 2. Trading platform
[0105] This is used to send bidding notifications to various e-commerce platforms for product information after the public announcement of the unit has ended, obtain product links and original bids from the e-commerce platforms based on the product benchmark price for the transaction administrator to select, and generate the final purchase link and put it on the platform based on the selection results.
[0106] The e-commerce business management system provided in Embodiment 1 of this invention includes a management platform and a transaction platform. The management platform is equipped with a procurement unit, an operation unit, an engineering and equipment unit, a control unit, and a public display unit. The procurement unit generates product requests based on the obtained product links. Then, the operation unit and the engineering and equipment unit sequentially review the product requests, and the public display unit publishes the product information corresponding to the finally approved product requests. During the review process, the operation unit also generates a benchmark price for the product based on the reference prices of multiple reference links set by the operators. The transaction platform sends bidding notifications to various e-commerce platforms, obtains the product links and original bids from the e-commerce platforms based on the benchmark price, and provides these for the transaction administrator to select. Based on the selection results, the final purchase link is generated and listed. This system enables e-commerce business management for large enterprises with multiple levels of subsidiaries, from reporting procurement needs to multi-level review to the final product purchase link listing. Furthermore, by generating a benchmark price, it guides e-commerce pricing and reasonably controls product purchase costs. Based on the product links and original bids from the e-commerce platforms selected by the transaction administrator, the final purchase link is generated and listed, avoiding the problem of time-consuming and laborious selection for buyers due to numerous purchase links for the same or similar products.
[0107] The operations unit determines a weighted sum of reference prices and a weighted sum of the weights of the e-commerce platforms corresponding to each reference link, based on the reference prices set by the operations staff and the respective e-commerce platforms. The ratio of this weighted sum to the weighted sum is used as the initial benchmark price, which is then rounded to obtain the product's benchmark price. Determining a reasonable benchmark price provides a data foundation for obtaining feedback from e-commerce platforms regarding reasonable bidding for product links, resulting in more reasonable prices for the final listed purchase links. This saves on purchase costs and avoids the problem of pricing too low to afford high-performance products.
[0108] In some embodiments, the system further includes a standard product library; the control unit is also used to add product information that has ended its public display period to the standard product library. That is, the standard product library is used to manage product information that is currently on sale and about to be sold.
[0109] The control unit is also used to monitor when the products in the standard product library meet the benchmark price update conditions, generate a benchmark price update task and send it to the operation unit; based on the reference prices of multiple reference links received from the operation unit, the original bids corresponding to each purchase link of the product and the corresponding e-commerce weight, update the benchmark price and send it to the transaction platform to update the purchase links of the product.
[0110] Furthermore, updating the benchmark price of a commodity involves the following four steps:
[0111] (1) Determine the reference price weighted average price
[0112] You can refer to the process for determining the reference price weighted average price as described above.
[0113] (2) Determine the weighted average price of the original bid.
[0114] Based on the weight of the e-commerce platform corresponding to each current purchase link of the product and the original bid, determine the weighted average price of the original bid. The determination process is similar to that of determining the weighted average price of the reference price. Obtain the weight of the e-commerce platform corresponding to each current purchase link of the product. h1 w h2 ... w hm And the original bid P h1 P h2 ... P hm , where m is the number of currently purchased links for the product. Calculate the weighted sum of the original bids. And the total weight of the e-commerce platforms corresponding to each purchase link. Finally, the weighted average price of the original auction is determined. .
[0115] (3) Determine the new initial benchmark price
[0116] A new initial benchmark price can be obtained by weighted summing the reference price weighted average price and the original auction price.
[0117] Let the original auction weighted average price be... The weighted parameter is a ( Then the reference price weighted average price The weighting parameter is 1-a, and the formula for calculating the new initial benchmark price P is:
[0118] .
[0119] (4) Rounding down yields the updated commodity benchmark price.
[0120] The rounding process can be found in the previous explanation.
[0121] Furthermore, if the control unit monitors that the products in the standard product library meet the benchmark price update conditions, it may include any of the following situations:
[0122] (1) Monitor the interval between the current time and the latest benchmark price update time of the product, and reach the set benchmark price update time threshold.
[0123] (2) The interval between the current time and the time when the product enters the standard product warehouse is monitored to reach n times the benchmark price update time threshold, where n is an integer greater than 0.
[0124] (3) For each category of goods in the standard goods library, monitor the change of the average selling price of the corresponding goods in the third-party goods pool over time. If the decrease in the average price reaches the set range and the duration of the decrease reaches the set range reaches the set time, determine that the goods in that category meet the benchmark price update conditions.
[0125] The management platform, as described above, also includes a category mapping management unit and a control unit. This unit monitors the average selling price of corresponding products in the third-party product pool over time, specifically for categories within the standard product library.
[0126] For the product categories in the standard product library, the e-commerce product category code is determined based on the MDG category code and the mapping relationship between the MDG category code and the e-commerce product category code, and the average selling price of the corresponding product in the third-party product pool is monitored over time.
[0127] By monitoring the category prices of third-party products, we can better grasp the timing of adjusting the purchase links of products on sale. This avoids the problems of frequent adjustments increasing system management costs, and delayed adjustments that may lead to the inability to update purchase links with better cost performance in a timely manner, resulting in economic losses.
[0128] In some embodiments, the system further includes a rejected product database, an operations unit, and an engineering equipment unit, and is further configured to, in response to a user's rejected product request, notify the control unit to add the corresponding product information to the rejected product database and withdraw the currently pending product request.
[0129] When the operations unit receives a rejection request from an operations staff member, or when the engineering equipment unit receives a rejection request from an engineering equipment staff member, it notifies the control unit to add the corresponding product information to the rejection product database and cancels the corresponding product requests currently pending review by the procurement management unit, operations unit, and engineering equipment unit.
[0130] The results of the operations unit's review of the product request received from the operations staff may be approval, rejection, or rejection. If the received review result is approval, the product request is sent to the next stage for further review; if the received review result is rejection, the product request is returned to the procurement module. The procurement staff can edit and modify the request and resubmit it, or resubmit it directly to the procurement management module without modification, or withdraw the rejected product request.
[0131] The review results received by the engineering materials unit from the engineering materials personnel may be approved, rejected, or refused. If the received review result is approved, the product request is sent to the control unit; if the received review result is rejected, the product request is rejected and returned to the procurement module. The procurement officer can edit and modify the request and resubmit it, or resubmit it directly to the procurement management module without modification, or withdraw the rejected product request.
[0132] In some embodiments, based on the establishment of a system standard product library and a rejected product library, before sending a product request approved by the operator to the engineering equipment unit for review, the operation unit is further configured to determine whether the product request approved by the operator does not conflict with either the standard product library or the rejected product library; if so, the product request approved by the operator is sent to the engineering equipment unit for review; otherwise, if the product request conflicts with the standard product library, the product request is rejected; if the product request conflicts with the rejected product library, the product request is rejected.
[0133] Correspondingly, before sending the product information corresponding to the product request approved by the engineering material handler to the control unit, the engineering material handling unit is also used to determine whether the product request approved by the engineering material handler does not conflict with the standard product library and the rejected product library; if so, the product information corresponding to the product request approved by the engineering material handler is sent to the control unit; otherwise, if the product request conflicts with the standard product library, the product request is rejected; if the product request conflicts with the rejected product library, the product request is rejected.
[0134] The rejected product database enables the management of purchase requests for currently rejected products, avoiding unnecessary approval and management processes for rejected product requests; the standard product database enables the effective management of products on sale, preventing the same products from being requested repeatedly or even listed repeatedly.
[0135] The above describes how product requests include MDG category codes. In some embodiments, before sending the product information published by the publication unit to the trading platform, the control unit is also used to generate a product code based on the MDG category code. That is, the control unit generates the product code before adding the product information to the standard product library and sending it to the trading platform.
[0136] Product codes are generated based on MDG category codes (category codes managed by the system itself). The MDG category codes are obtained based on the mapping relationship between MDG category codes and e-commerce category codes stored in the category mapping management unit. Since e-commerce category codes can be directly obtained from their purchase links, pre-storing the mapping relationship between MDG category codes and various e-commerce category codes allows for the rapid determination of MDG category codes from e-commerce category codes based on this mapping relationship. Furthermore, product codes generated based on MDG category codes facilitate the management of products according to categories.
[0137] In some embodiments, both the operation unit and the engineering equipment unit are further configured to, in response to a received product request, perform deduplication and merging processing with the currently pending product request.
[0138] Specifically, based on the product attribute information contained in the received product request, the system determines whether the product request overlaps with the currently pending product request based on the set deduplication rules. If so, a prompt message indicating that the product requests overlap is generated, and the received product request and the currently pending product request that overlaps with it are merged based on the main product request selected by the user.
[0139] Furthermore, the procurement management module of the procurement unit, the operation management module and operation review module of the operation unit, and the engineering equipment unit are all used to respond to received product requests and perform deduplication and merging processing with the currently pending product requests. However, the deduplication rules can be set differently; see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 2 The image shown is an example of deduplication rule settings. Based on the deduplication requirements, multiple parameters can be selected in the product attribute information to configure specific deduplication rules.
[0140] Example 2
[0141] Embodiment 2 of the present invention provides an e-commerce business management system, the structure of which is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, it includes a management platform and a trading platform.
[0142] The management platform includes multiple procurement units, operation units, engineering equipment units, control units, and public disclosure units, as well as a third-party product pool, a standard product library, a rejected product library, and a category mapping management unit.
[0143] Each procurement unit includes multiple procurement modules and one procurement management module; the operations unit includes an operations management module, multiple operations review modules, and one operations re-review module.
[0144] 1.1 Procurement Module
[0145] Used for generating, submitting, and managing product requests.
[0146] The procurement module includes two menus: procurement requirements and procurement list. Furthermore, it can also include a menu of goods outside the procurement pool.
[0147] (1) Procurement requirements
[0148] The procurement unit obtains the product search information entered by the procurement officer through the procurement requirements menu, searches for matching product links from a third-party product pool based on the search information, and displays them; in response to the procurement officer clicking the submit procurement requirements button at the selected product link, it will redirect to the requirements filling page and display the product request generated based on the product link selected by the procurement officer.
[0149] Furthermore, the product request includes a reference link, a reference price, the product source, the MDG category code, and product attributes. The MDG category code is obtained from the product link and is determined based on the mapping relationship between the MDG category code stored in the category mapping management unit and the category code of that e-commerce platform.
[0150] The following six fields in the product attributes are mandatory: material category, category code, category name, product name, brand, and unit of measurement.
[0151] After generating a product request, the purchasing agent can edit it to improve or modify the product information. Furthermore, it provides two functions: save and submit. Save: Clicking this button will save the product request in the purchasing module, allowing the purchasing agent to edit it again in the pending list. Submit: Clicking the submit button will submit the product request to the purchasing management module for approval.
[0152] (2) Procurement of goods outside the pool
[0153] Purchasing staff can directly fill in the demand information for goods outside the purchasing pool on the goods outside the purchasing pool page.
[0154] The fields for "Reference Link," "Reference Price," and "Product Source" are all required; the required fields in the product attribute information are the same as above.
[0155] (3) Procurement List
[0156] Manage product requests and status.
[0157] Temporarily Saved: Displays the procurement requests temporarily saved by the purchasing agent in the new procurement requirements. Click Edit to modify and submit.
[0158] Submitted: Displays product requests that have been submitted by the buyer.
[0159] Under review: Displays the review status at each stage.
[0160] Not approved: Displays rejected and refused product requests; rejected product requests can be edited or resubmitted directly; refused product requests cannot be resubmitted.
[0161] Cancelled: Displays product requests that the buyer has cancelled.
[0162] It should be noted that before the procurement module sends a product request to the corresponding procurement management module, it needs to verify the legality of the product request to ensure that the product request does not conflict with the standard product library or the rejected product library.
[0163] 1.2 Procurement Management Module
[0164] In response to a product request received from the procurement module, the system first performs deduplication and merging. Optionally, it can also merge multiple product requests based on an instruction entered by the procurement administrator. The procurement management module also primarily provides the following two functions:
[0165] (1) Request summary review management
[0166] Manage product requests and display them in a list to the procurement administrator, who can view product requests that are pending review, submitted, canceled, or rejected by operations for the current account.
[0167] Pending Review: Displays all currently submitted product requests awaiting review, and summarizes them according to set summary criteria. The list shows the number of requests, the initial submission time, and summary field information.
[0168] Submitted: Displays the currently approved product requests (product requests) by the user.
[0169] Cancelled: Displays currently rejected user-approved requests.
[0170] Operations Rejection: Displays requests rejected by operations staff. Requests can be edited and resubmitted to the operations staff or rejected directly to the purchasing staff. Optionally, requests rejected by operations staff can also be directly rejected to the purchasing staff.
[0171] (2) Submitting and reviewing requirements
[0172] Click "Review" on the "Not Submitted" page to review the product request. You can modify information such as product attributes and MDM code in the product request. Each modification will be recorded and displayed in the modification log.
[0173] The procurement management module receives a review result from the procurement administrator regarding a product request, which may be approved, rejected, or refused. If the received review result is approved, the product request is sent to the operations unit for further review; if the received review result is rejected, the product request is returned to the procurement module, where the procurement officer can edit and resubmit it, or resubmit it directly to the procurement management module without modification, or withdraw the rejected product request; if the received review result is refused, the control unit is notified, and the control unit determines whether the corresponding product information is in the refused product database; if yes, the corresponding product request awaiting review in each unit or module is canceled; if no, the corresponding product request awaiting review in each unit or module is canceled, and the product information is added to the refused product database.
[0174] When the procurement management module receives a product request approved by the procurement administrator, it needs to perform a legality check before sending it to the operations unit. This check determines whether the product request approved by the procurement administrator conflicts with either the standard product library or the rejected product library. If so, the product request approved by the procurement administrator is sent to the operations unit for review. Otherwise, if the product request conflicts with the standard product library, the product request is rejected; if the product request conflicts with the rejected product library, the product request is rejected.
[0175] 1.3 Operations Management Module
[0176] In response to a product request received from the procurement management module, the system first performs deduplication and merging (based on deduplication rules configured by the procurement administrator). Optionally, it can also merge multiple product requests based on an instruction entered by the operations administrator. The operations management module also primarily provides the following two main functions:
[0177] (1) Request summary management
[0178] (2) Maintain MDG category information, operation auditor information, and configuration relationship between auditors and MDG categories.
[0179] The operations management module provides a category and specialist management menu. The left side displays the personnel information of the operations auditors, and the right side displays the material category information. Furthermore, the right side can display the MDG material category information responsible for the selected operations auditor; or the left side can display the operations auditor information corresponding to the selected material category.
[0180] 1.4 Operations Audit Module
[0181] The operations review module generates a benchmark price for a product based on the reference prices of multiple reference links set by the reviewer, and sends product requests that have been approved by the reviewer to the operations review module.
[0182] 1.5 Operational Review Module
[0183] Used to send product requests that have passed the review by the reviewer to the engineering equipment unit for review.
[0184] The review results received by the reviewers in the Operations Review Module for product requests may be approved, rejected, or refused. If the received review result is approved, the product request is sent to the Engineering and Equipment Unit for further review; if the received review result is rejected, the product request is returned to the Procurement Module. The procurement officer can edit and modify the request and resubmit it, or resubmit it directly to the Procurement Management Module without modification, or withdraw the rejected product request.
[0185] When the reviewer receives a "pass" result for the product request from the operations review module, a legality check is still required before sending it to the engineering equipment unit.
[0186] 1.6 Engineering Equipment Units
[0187] In response to the product request sent by the Operations Review Module, the system first performs deduplication and merging. Optionally, it can also merge multiple product requests based on the instruction input by the Engineering and Equipment Staff.
[0188] The review results received by the engineering materials unit from the engineering materials personnel may be approved, rejected, or refused. If the received review result is approved, the product request is sent to the control unit; if the received review result is rejected, the product request is rejected and returned to the procurement module. The procurement officer can edit and modify the request and resubmit it, or resubmit it directly to the procurement management module without modification, or withdraw the rejected product request.
[0189] When the engineering material handling unit receives a positive review result from the engineering material handling personnel regarding the goods request, it still needs to perform a legality verification before sending it to the control unit.
[0190] 1.7 Control Unit
[0191] This is used to send approved product requests from the engineering equipment unit to the publicity unit for public display; and to send product requests that have completed the publicity period to the trading platform, generate product codes based on the MDG category codes, and add product information to the standard product library.
[0192] It is also used to monitor whether the products in the standard product library meet the benchmark price update conditions. If so, it generates a benchmark price update task and sends it to the operations unit. Based on the reference prices of multiple reference links received from the operations unit, the original bids corresponding to each purchase link of the product, and the corresponding e-commerce weight, it updates the benchmark price and sends it to the trading platform to update the purchase links of the product.
